Should not go on articles but on articles' talk pages

This is an administrative category that is of no value to readers, so it should really be on the talk pages. Alex Middleton 17:04, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, this is precisely the conclusion that WP:CFD arrived at; it is considered "non-defining". — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 16:11, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- Does this mean it has been up for cfd already because if not it, IMO, should be, SqueakBox 18:47, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
- Um, no, it means that, like all such non-defining-characteristic cleanup categories, it goes on article talk pages, not on articles. NB: It just survived CfD today. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 11:10, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

This category should have been deleted
[edit]This category is messy and pointless. Given it's huge potential size, there is no practical utility in separating it from Category:Date of birth missing. It is just a waste of time. Alex Middleton 13:40, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Comment
[edit]If the date of birth cannot be found for a living person, it's probably a good indication that the individual might not be that notable after all. Enigmamsg 23:41, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
- Or that the person in question wishes to keep their birth-date private? yoyo (talk) 04:33, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
